Lin Yun didn't know how long he had been in that darkness.
It might have been an instant, it might have been a hundred years …
"Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub …"
Finally, the familiar sound of a heartbeat reached Lin Yun's ears. Lin Yun subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see boundless flames. The entire world seemed to be burning, and endless scenes appeared within the flames. Lin Yun only took a glance before he was shocked by these frightening scenes.
That was the war between the Pureblood Elves and the Chromatic Dragons.
Tens of thousands of Chromatic Dragons soared in the sky, covering the sky like a five-colored cloud. Numerous Dragon Breaths swept past, scorching the earth. Pureblood Elves were everywhere in the sky and on the ground. Silvermoon Elves, Dark Night Elves, Sunfire Elves, and Holysong Elves. The four great Pureblood Elves manipulated the elements, using bows, spears, and holy light to fight to the death.
The sky was torn apart and the earth was collapsing. Lin Yun once again witnessed the frightening scene from 30,000 years later. Collapsing mountains, boiling seas, it was as if the end of the world had arrived.
Chromatic Dragons fell in droves, and large groups of Pureblood Elves turned to ashes.
Everywhere he looked, there were raging flames, flowing blood, and mutilated corpses. Even if Lin Yun knew that all of this was just an illusion, he still couldn't help being shocked by this tragic scene, the thick smell of blood lingering at the tip of his nose.
"Who is the enemy?" Lin Yun did his best to rush into the flames and see the true enemy of this tragic war.
But …
There was no enemy …
From start to finish, there was no sign of the enemy. The casualties of the Pureblood Elves and the Chromatic Dragons came from the Netherstorm, the burning meteors, the collapsing earth, the tearing sky, and the boiling seas. It was as if this world-destroying disaster was their true enemy.
In the end, everything calmed down.
The world gradually calmed down. The remaining Chromatic Dragons and Pureblood Elves gathered together, silently mourning for their fallen companions. There was no sound, no movement, but pain and sorrow silently spread. In the end, a Three-headed Golden Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar filled with anger and unwillingness. At the same time, a handsome and dignified Sunfire Elf silently walked out of the crowd, holding a scepter as he chanted a long incantation.
Then, a Planar Path opened.
The remaining Chromatic Dragons and pure-blooded Elves silently walked towards this Planar Path. No one knew where they would end up.
"This is …" Lin Yun was startled, this scene was somewhat familiar.
But when Lin Yun wanted to see where this Planar Path led to, the image suddenly stopped.
"F * ck!" Lin Yun immediately cursed. The tumbling scene in the flames was too important to Lin Yun. Lin Yun even felt that as long as he kept watching, many of the questions that had been hovering in his mind might be easily solved.
Unfortunately, the image just had to stop at this time.
Lin Yun simply couldn't accept this result.
But at this time, an earth-shattering Dragon roar once again reached Lin Yun's ears. Lin Yun looked up in shock and saw a black shadow sweeping across the sky. That was an extremely huge Black Dragon. Its body was hundreds of meters long, and it was faintly discernible under the sunlight, looking like a ghost. It was surrounded by flames, and its long and wide wings spread out, making the entire sky look like it was on fire.
Lin Yun immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
That was the king of Destruction Black Dragons, an existence on the same level as the Three-Headed Golden Dragon, a powerhouse that could contend against Ancient Gods, the Shadow Dragon!
As the Shadow Dragon swept across the sky, it seemed to turn its head to look at Lin Yun. It was followed by another earth-shattering Dragon Roar, and by the time Lin Yun recovered, the Shadow Dragon's silhouette had already disappeared from his line of sight.
However, Lin Yun was dumbfounded.
Because Lin Yun had clearly heard a few complicated Ancient Draconic words mixed within that earth-shattering Dragon Roar.
Few people in Noscent dared to say that they understood Ancient Draconic. That was the language used by the Ancient Dragons of the Golden Era. Even in the Nesser Dynasty, the empire established by the Dragons and the Elves, very few Dragons could communicate in Ancient Draconic.
Only those Ancient Dragons that had experienced the Golden and Silver Eras and had unimaginably long lifespans would occasionally use Ancient Draconic.
The reason why Lin Yun knew some of the Ancient Draconic Language was because during the peak of the magic civilization, many mages believed that the Ancient Draconic Language and the Ancient Elven Language contained some kind of mysterious power. They crazily researched these two lost languages and excavated a large number of temples and ruins. In their words, they flipped through the entire Nesser Era and spent a few hundred years before finally sorting out the Ancient Draconic Language in their minds.
Unfortunately, this set of Ancient Dragon Language was only specious. Not only did it not have any mysterious power, it was also collectively mocked by all the giant dragons, saying that it was a completely different language from the Ancient Dragon Language that they inherited from their bloodlines. Over time, mages began to shelve this specious set of Ancient Dragon Language. Only when they were learning other ancient languages would they use it as a teaching material and reference material.
At that time, Lin Yun came into contact with this Ancient Draconic under such circumstances. Firstly, he wanted to refer to its grammar structure, and secondly, he wanted to read it as a pastime.
But he hadn't expected that his unintentional action would come in handy today. That Dragon Roar just now contained a few Ancient Draconic words, and Lin Yun actually understood some of them.
"Accidentally … Saw … Descendant … Ancient War … Fragment … Balakra …"
Although it was only some fragmented fragments, Lin Yun still firmly remembered a few keywords, especially the last "Balakra". Lin Yun felt that this was most likely a powerful true name. As for who this true name belonged to, he would have to wait until Lin Yun returned and carefully research some information.
As the Shadow Dragon swept across the sky, the surrounding flames began to dissipate, and the boundless darkness attacked once again …
When Lin Yun regained consciousness, the surrounding scenery had changed once again. Lin Yun returned to that empty temple, and in front of him was still the beating heart of the Black Dragon. That drop of blood that he had dripped was slowly seeping into the heart. In the distance, William Merlin was still standing at his original position, and even the expression on his face didn't seem to have changed in the slightest.
Lin Yun realized that the long period of time that he had experienced before might only be a short moment in reality …
Nothing seemed to have changed.
No …
"What is this!" Just as Lin Yun was about to walk down the altar, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be an extra drop of blood that didn't belong to him in his body …
This drop of blood was extremely hot, and it carried a strong smell of sulfur. The moment it entered his body, Lin Yun immediately felt a sharp pain. Lin Yun realized that it was the blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction. That berserk and blazing aura was too obvious. This was definitely the aura of the Black Dragon of Destruction.
Could it be that the bloodline ritual of the Merlin Family was actually to exchange a drop of their blood for the blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction?
But if that was the case …
Wasn't the bloodline of the Merlin Family the bloodline of the Black Dragon of Destruction?
This discovery immediately overturned all of Lin Yun's knowledge …
Unfortunately, there was no time for Lin Yun to think too much. After that drop of blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction fused into Lin Yun's body, it immediately erupted with a terrifying energy. In that instant, Lin Yun seemed to hear a loud "boom". Then, that drop of Dragon Blood started to frantically devour it. It only took a moment for it to grow, and it started to flow in Lin Yun's body like boiling lava. It gave people the feeling that it was a snowball that was getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, a power that had been dormant for a long time was awakened by this drop of Dragon Blood …
Lin Yun knew that this was the true bloodline ritual.
Using the blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction as a catalyst to awaken the dormant bloodline of the Merlin Family …
No wonder he had always felt that the bloodline in Mafa Merlin's body wasn't simple …
It was just that the bloodline in Mafa Merlin's body was too thin at that time, so he had only studied it for a bit before giving up. But now, as this drop of blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction fused into his body, it started to awaken the other bloodline that had been dormant. Lin Yun finally realized that the Merlin Family might very well have a top-notch bloodline.
Only a true top-notch bloodline would need the blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction to awaken …
At this time, Lin Yun had already vaguely guessed something.
It was said that during the Dragon Slaying War, the ancestor of the Merlin Family and the Dark Sage had fought against the Black Dragon Clan.
Now that he thought about it, the relationship between the ancestor of the Merlin Family, the Dark Sage, and the Black Dragon Clan might not be as simple as comrades and enemies …
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn't have time to think about it. As the blood of the Black Dragon of Destruction fused into his body, that dormant bloodline was on the verge of awakening.
If Lin Yun really was Mafa Merlin, then this would naturally be for the best.
As long as he allowed that dormant bloodline to awaken, Lin Yun would naturally complete his transformation. Whether it was potential or power, they would both reach a shocking level.
But unfortunately, Lin Yun wasn't Mafa Merlin.
Lin Yun came from 30,000 years in the future and possessed magic knowledge that surpassed the entire era. Lin Yun had ten Magic Arrays and was already on a path no one had taken before. How could Lin Yun be willing to be bound by any bloodline?
